Every spring I have the same problem. The snow melts and the ground softens up and while riding around the lawn on my mower, the lawn gets torn up. Sometimes the spots are bigger than others but the consistent factor is that they are ugly. Then after a month or so the ground dries up so much and the grass doesn't re-grow. One year about five years ago I had a big patch of problem grass and I wound up tilling it, re-seeding, rolling, and that turned out pretty good.
This year I am looking for a quick fix for the spots that get torn up and are exposed dirt. I'm thinking if I seed when the ground is still soft and moist, that will provide the best environment for the grass to grow and I won't need to worry about breaking up the dirt to seed, or even worry about laying hay over it to keep the seed down. Also I think this would be an economical solution to the problem, just one bag of grass seed.
Any thoughts about this? I'm sure others deal with it too. :thumbdown:
